i want to play a great clip that we found of -- guest appearance you have on "murphy brown." years ago. which we were all reminding ourselves was quite a good show. this is a clip from the 1990s. you play a conservative congressman, republican, who is a sort of prototype tea party republican who has been elected with the backing of interests that have very extreme views. now has been told that he has to go on air and parrot those views. take a look. >> when i was elected i didn't realize i might be a little bit beholden to certain interest groups. i thought that just people gave me money because they like me. today they gave me a position paper and made it clear they are expecting a pretty big return on their investment. a person caucasian should take an iq test to determine if they should stay in this great country of ours. >> you are proposing we expel ethnic minorities? >> i guess i am. >> all ethnic minorities? >> apparently so. >> wallace shawn at the table. i wonder how much -- jeff as shone who has been observing politics for a while the connection between the pole ori

whitney houston was part of a generation of what i call black pop crossovers, michael jackson, eddie murphy, whitney houston. they were unprecedented, they had access to the main -- black performers didn't have in mainstream before. part of that was finding the right pitch for pop mainstream audience. it was the idea of whitney houston and clive davis to market her less as an r&b singer. they were careful to package r&b songs on her album but wanted to cross her over in ways they hadn't before. what you saw toward the end of the 1980s was really a lot of pressure for whitney houston to live up to some sort of idea of black authenticity as it was being articulated by an emerging hip hop generation in the laid 1980s and of course, what we were hearing on black radio. she took criticism for maybing those choices. the same kind of criticism that was also directed towards michael jackson in that era. that was part of the price that this generation of crossover artists had to pay for their access to the mainstream. >> what do you think, chris, made her so different from other stars and singers of

for more, i'm joined by the national political reporter for politico and patricia murphy, contributor for "newsweek" and the daily beast. thanks for joining me. >> good to be here. >> david, i will begin with you. let's start with the iowa poll i showed. president obama only beating gingrich in that state and ron paul is the one that has the biggest lead there. does this tell us anything, big pictures, ohio snapshot? >> well, i think the ron paul numbers are interesting. that's more of a -- on both houses because ron paul, as we know, draws libertarians, conservative, but also some democrats on the ground there in iowa. the big picture i think to be fair to the president is that -- huge campaign in iowa and he took a lot of hits because of that early caucus, republicans were on the airwaves, speaking directly to voters, negative messaging against president obama and that takes its toll. remember, he hasn't launched much advertising in support of his candidacy yet. still the republican primary going on. and this is the result. a tough, tough close race for him in the hawkeye state. >>
